ISSUES AT PLAY 6pm-8pm, 8th November. Northcote Town Hall. A workshop, called “Issues at Play”, at the Northern Notes Writer’s Festival, will include a reading by professional actors of 1hr-length play “Peccadilloes” by local emerging playwright Judy Doubas. It tells the story of one woman’s journey through domestic violence. After the play reading, an open forum with the actors, writer and the CEO of Domestic Violence Crisis Services, Jean Cameron will be conducted to discuss the relevance and effectiveness of the genre of playwriting to explore and inform an audience about often contentious social issues. There will be an opportunity to discuss both the issues presented and to make comparisons with other forms of writing such as journalistic articles and essays, novels and short stories. These questions will be posed. Can a play shape public opinion, awake emotions, stimulate thought and enlighten as well as amuse and entertain? Does showing and not just telling engage an audience/ reader more profoundly and on a deeper level? Judy Doubas has been passionate about theatre all her life. From dabbling in acting and directing, she began writing plays three years ago, to reflect upon and give meaning to, contemporary social issues that effect us all. She writes with a serious intent and some humour. ‘Peccadilloes’ is her first full length play, but there are more in the making. Her ten minute plays have been produced at Footscray Arts Centre, Dantes and Dandenong Short and Sweet Festival. Her ten minute play “Black Eyed Susan”, a black comedy about cancer, is being produced at the Arts Centre, Fairfax Studio, as one of the Top 20 in the Short and Sweet Festival in December. She has a Diploma in Drama and a Diploma in Education Drama/English. The actors at play are Bobbi-Lea Dionysis, Stefan Cooper-Fox, Nick Fox, Rosie Rodiadis and Scott Mc Ateer. “Issues at Play” is supported by NNWF, Women’s Health in the North, Darebin Domestic Violence Project and Domestic Violence Crisis Service. For bookings call Judy on 0409210838. Or email. Start: 18:00

A unique and vibrant art exhibition will be on show in the Atrium at Federation Square during November 26 to December 2, 2008. There are 120 exceptional paintings, drawings and sketches exploring the theme of the “Journey” - the sights, sensations and memories that make every journey personal. This public exhibition is purely about artistic expression and the pure joy for the painter to have the opportunity to have their work seen by thousands of people from all walks of life; ADEC ArtAbility 2008 provides men, women and children from fringe cultural corners of Melbourne the chance to transcend difficulties by communicating visually in a professional way. ADEC ArtAbility is an event showcasing exciting, colourful work from artists at the end of this month. Leading award winning contemporary artist and teacher (Latrobe Art College & Victoria University), David Ralph will be judging the exhibition and awarding prizes. He said, “My gut reaction to the work that I have seen so far, is that the paintings are wonderfully unselfconscious. They are intuitive and meditative and made with enjoyment; there is a sense of love, fun and timelessness to the work. There are various styles peaking through this exhibition from modernist, Arte Brut, Impressionism and Fauvism. It’s an honour to be invited to be a part of this special event”. The 60 artists live in various pockets of Melbourne who have origins in places such as Somalia, Europe, obscure countries in the Pacific Islands, China, Russia, Japan, Greece, Iraq, Africa and so on.

In the heat of a global economic meltdown, more than 250 anti-capitalist activists met over four days in San Francisco to discuss The Persistent Power of Socialist Feminism and chart a course of action. This was Radical Women’s 41st international anniversary conference, held October 3 – 6 at the historic Women’s Building. Melbourne participants brought back the experience and excitement to a report-back event, and people are talking about how the ideas can be applied to Australia. Spend an informal afternoon to meet others and discuss how we can act do together on today’s burning issues and bring on real change. Bring your ideas and a dish to share. We’ll gather at Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Road, Brunswick. Catch the Upfield train or Sydney Road tram, and there is plenty of free parking at the rear. For more information, call 9388 0062 or email. Check out the conference on the website. Everyone is welcome! | ||

The Rotary Club of Footscray, in partnership with Ethio-Australian Sports Federation, Victoria Police and Footscray United Soccer Club Inc. are hosting the African Cup charity game on Sunday 7 December 2008. The match pits a combined side made up from Victoria Police and the Footscray United Soccer Club, featuring Publicis' own Rob Tripp, against an Ethiopian side from the local community. There will also be two games played amongst the African community. The event aims to develop relationships within the local community, increase the opportunities for the African community to participate in physical activity, create greater community collaboration in sport and recreation programs, and ensure that population groups with special needs (people of non-English speaking backgrounds) can access programs and services across our suburbs. The day will feature a BBQ sausage sizzle, canteen sales and African music. Proceeds on the day will go to the Rotary Club to support programs that will help engage and support the African community. Please contact Robert Tripp for enquiries on rtripp@melbmg.com or Mobile 0414 86 88 37. Start: 19:00
